DES MOINES, Iowa – The UTEP Tennis team won its second in a row Saturday afternoon after they took down South Dakota, 4-3, at Roger Knapp Tennis Center.

The Miners (3-2) surpassed their win total from last season (2) and handed South Dakota its first loss of the season.

“Today was another close match and the girls did well to find a way to win,” head coach Mark Roberts said. “We won the doubles point which got us off to a good start. As a whole we still struggled with giving points away, just too many free points. Tomorrow will be another opportunity to practice staying consistent every point. But it feels good to win.”

The Miners closed out the match when Calvillo, Trierweiler, and LeBlond all won their singles matches. Calvillo beat Pavlovic, 6-0, 6-4 at No. 1 singles and Trierweiler won, 6-1, 6-1, over Michelle Elkin at No. 2 singles.
